From the Osh Northwestern, March 14, 2009:
"......UW-Oshkosh will pull in $428,000 for two separate projects, which includes $333,000 requested by Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wisconsin, to create a demonstration training program for preventing elderly abuse and neglect at nursing homes, said Tom Sonnleitner, vice chancellor for administrative services. Sonnleitner said the Kohl-backed project would provide the resources for UWO's Center for Career Development to create workshops, a Web site and a CD for training employees of nursing homes."
We need to teach professionals in nursing homes to not abuse and neglect patients? I never would've thought that. Guess I thought that the various degree programs for RN's, CNA's, LPN's etc would've mentioned that somewhere along the line.
So once again, we are on the cutting edge of vocational education.
